Hi,
I'm looking for recommendations on LAN instant messaging system(Hopefully
both for windows and linux.)
At the moment I have a mixed environment of windows and linux(ubuntu)
clients all of which auth against an active directory/ldap server.
I want the user to be able to communicate with other users over the instant
messaging client. However I want the user to be automatically signed into
the IM client on login to their windows/gnome session.
I was looking at using OpenFire and Spark IM with PKI based auth. The
private keys would be automatically generated for each user when deploying
the system. I would hope to store them in My documents/the-users-home-folder
as a hidden file(with strict permissions of course). I would then launch
Spark IM with a batch-script/gnome-session-startup-script. However, from
what I've read Spark IM doesn't have much documentation for PKI and its very
buggy.
What would you guys recommend?
